Question 3 of 5
A college student has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Which symptoms should a campus nurse expect this client to exhibit? (Select the one that does not apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Anorexia. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) typically presents with symptoms such as fatigue, hyperventilation, and insomnia due to excessive worry and stress. However, anorexia is not a common symptom of GAD. Anorexia refers to a lack of appetite or an eating disorder, which is not directly associated with GAD. Therefore, the campus nurse should not expect a client with GAD to exhibit symptoms of anorexia.
Question 4 of 5
Which intervention, related to this medication, should be initiated to maintain this client’s safety upon discharge?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct answer: B. Providing a 1-week supply of Elavil with refills contingent on follow-up appointments is the best intervention to maintain the client's safety upon discharge. This approach ensures proper monitoring of the medication's effectiveness and any potential side effects. Incorrect choices: A. Providing a 6-month supply of Elavil may lead to non-compliance and potential misuse of the medication. C. Providing a pill dispenser as a memory aid may help with medication organization but does not address the need for proper monitoring. D. Providing education on avoiding tyramine-containing foods is not directly related to ensuring the client's safety with the medication. Summary: Choice B is the most appropriate as it promotes responsible medication management through regular follow-up appointments, ensuring the client's safety and well-being.
Question 5 of 5
A patient who has been taking fluoxetine (Prozac) 60 mg daily for the past 6 months tells the nurse at the medication follow-up clinic that he is considering stopping the Prozac. He states his mood is fine, and now that he is living normally, his wife is concerned that he has no sex drive. Which response would be best?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it addresses the patient's concern about sexual side effects while highlighting the importance of continuing antidepressant treatment to prevent the recurrence of depression. It acknowledges the impact of medication on sexual function and offers a solution by mentioning other medications that may have fewer sexual side effects. Option A fails to address the patient's concern about sex drive and does not provide a solution to the issue. Option B focuses only on adjusting medication timing but does not address the underlying problem of sexual side effects. Option C dismisses the medication as the cause of the issue without offering a potential solution or addressing the importance of continued treatment for depression.
